So I have always used a Maya Wrap with my babies, but Molly HATES the Maya Wrap. I've tried it every which way. She hates being swaddled too (little breech/oblique monkey). I don't think she likes being confined.

I had an Ergo for DS, but not until he was too heavy for me to carry in the Maya Wrap.

I love the comfort and adjustability of a padded ring sling and all three of munchkins have loved it. I used to have a Dr. Sears Nojo but that got worn out and so now I have a Baby Balboa which I think is its current version and I like it even better. I am also going to try a Mei Tei this time but haven't yet.

we love our mei tais-we have a free hand and a baby hawk. i've been using and trying to get the hang of a ring sling in the last couple of weeks. the sling seems like it might be a little less confining than a wrap maybe...

I am thinking of adding a Becco carrier to my collection. I have a Moby wrap and a kangaroo pouch sling (can't remember actual name?). The sling is super quick/easy, the Moby wrap is nice and distributes weight better then the sling and hugs him in nice and close, he loves both of them. I am thinking of the Becco or a structured carrier for even better support and for longer holding times. The Moby wrap fold up pretty small and fits in the diaper bag but something like the Becco distributes the weight sooo much better around my hips and the new version allow carrying facing out too I think.

I have some money on a gift card at a natural baby store and today DH and I are planning to go and try on the Becco and the Ergo (I tried on my friend's version of each and I liked the Becco a litt better). I want to make sure he likes whichever one I get so that he will use it too.

The Becco does not have the legs in the fetal position (even for an infant) I think, maybe your babe would prefer that Lyss?

Oh and when trying them on I think the Ergo with the infant insert was snugger then the Becco.
